Test fit went well. I like a lot of it. I need to move some mounting holes around, change the bottom of the vent shape to match the radius. My genrights made me push the grill forward making the grill protrude out more than it should from the hood. The inner fenders need to fit a stock group 34 battery and proved as much room for components as possible. For a first test fit it went well. Most of this was to test the building process. What flanges go where to get the smooth round radius’s vs the sharper corner edge flange.

It may be just because these are new to my eye but I like the profile aesthetic more than the tube fenders. I’m sure this is a personal preference and will vary wildly among opinions. It also looks better with the 35s than I thought. This is a 35 with 1.25” body and 2.5” suspension lift for reference.

Much better than tubes. Looks good. Only real criticism I have is the vent shape.

@Fluxor One consideration is to make the front downward flange radius meet the angle of the grille.

Rev 1 of the basic high line. I like a lot of it but I don’t love the transition from the side to the front is working out. I’m going to make the piece by the grill closer to 90. I want the body line at the tube tighter. That piece will have to be welded on. It will be a bent piece with reliefs for the factory bolts and washers. From the outside it should look closer to the tub sheet metal radius. This is the version that will have the removable flare. Hope to get the inners done and start test fitting them next week. Battery tray is next!

I love this. If I had known I’d have waited six months to get these. Are you designing a battery tray too?

Yes, I want to finish the front first. It will drive the rear flare styling.

Really nice. Looking forward to these. Any chance for a version if the rear flare that doesn’t come down as far in tbe back for a stretch?
 
I finally got all my flux parts installed and you go and do this! Looks great and cant wait to see what flare looks like and any final adjustments made.
